Kenya is not free.

Kenya is not independent.

Kenyans do not govern Kenya.

Kenya is still a colony of Britain, USA and Zionist Israel.

The war for liberation, sovereignty and land never ended.

You can’t call yourself free and sovereign when the US can establish a so-called EBOLA containment centre in your country without your knowledge, consent and in defiance of a valid court order!

You can’t be independent and sovereign when your president, cabinet, all parliamentarians, military and pretenders calling themselves “opposition” have gone mute in the face of this existential threat.

You can’t call yourself sovereign when you clearly have no power over the affairs of your country!

There's a connection between the Ebola deal of @MOH_Kenya and the Utumishi tragedy. A lack of 360° vision, of the ability to think what our actions imply down the road, and most of all, to care how others will be affected. There's a way in which our children are behaving like GoK, taking actions that imply others and not caring who dies. And if you point this out, they get upset, call it a personal attack, haul you to court or send the police. We take responsibility for nothing and expect others to bear the consequences. We have no conscience. We cite the law and yet the law is a guide, not a rule. Law does not absolve us from responsibility and the need to think, care for others, and use our conscience. But that thinking, caring and using our conscience is work, and we hate work.

@KICDKenya behaved the same way with CBC. They just didn't care for the kids and the families. When I challenged them, all they said was "we're the experts." A decision that was going to affect millions of children, their families, and generations of Kenyans, they took so casually. I kid you not, but in 2018 when CBC started, KICD had no documentation explaining what they were doing, except that 40-page framework that says nothing. I kept saying that in the media, and the journalists were not scandalized. Ni serikali. They can do what we want and it's us to pick the pieces. Just like those students.

We seem not to have a sense of proportion, to realize that technology and infrastructure now amplify the effects of our actions. We are incapable of thinking in scale, that's why when a Kenyan is confronted with the impact of their action on others, they say at ME ME ME: I'm innocent, you don't like me or my identity, you don't think I'm an expert, I hate this school and I don't care what I do to others...

This is a deeply philosophical problem that we must get out of, or we will destroy ourselves. Individualism and hubris are very destructive and we cannot plead that we had good intentions. As I said in this discussion of school arson 4 years ago, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

The USA has vowed not to allow anyone exposed to EBOLA to the USA soil.

They are free to take their citizens exposed to EBOLA and quarantine them in Space Ships, or to the USA territory.

If the USA doesn’t want them, they can stay in the DRC.

If the EBOLA exposed people are not safe for the USA, they are not safe for Kenyans.

@WilliamsRuto must be deposed if he brings EBOLA to Kenya using infected USA citizens.

@calvinokello4 Bbi was Uhuru's project, Raila agreed to push it believing Uhuru will deliver the Kikuyu votes. That was a very stupid move from which he never recovered

Strong and resilient when women give birth using torchlight and there's such poor infrastructure sick people die on nduthis enroute to the nearest referral hospital because local clinics are in utter rot???

I hope by "we," you mean githeri media. Don't include us, the public. Because you media have always supported the government on education. Remember when Sophia Wanuna was looking down on Sossion, refusing to engage what he was saying and sneering at him "so you want us to go back to 8.4.4"? I never forgot. That's the day I decided that I would stop participating in mainstream media discussions of education. You guys don't give a damn.

Apologize, the whole lot of you journalists, for what you have done to education.

@AbdikadirMohami @WaihigaMwaura @kmpdu @katibainstitute @QulshTM SC, talk about how @MusaliaMudavadi, @HonAdenDuale, @SingoeiAKorir and @fnoluga have cheapened our dignity and sovereignity.

I am struggling to figure out whether it is callousness, colourlessness or cluelessness or all the above.

@kelvinopere1 @PART_RIOT I can only imagine, colonialism just evolved. People seek power to replace the colonialists, not to serve. Public office shouldn't make anyone wealthy, otherwise we'll keep having thugs in power

[Kamau Ojwang' @kharma007]

@kelvinopere1 @PART_RIOT I don't think they get confused, power and money reveals who you are. He's a politician now, not a leader. When he tried to be a leader he was jailed.

The Fuhrer did what KANU and the Americans did with the Sessional Paper no. 10 of 1965. They called their capitalist policies socialist so that they could pacify the people's clamor for socialism. The US and UK initially supported that maniac because their real enemy was communism in Germany.

MBAGATHI HOSPITAL SPEAKS

According to the CCTV footage provided by Mbagathi Hospital, at 1:36 AM, the police vehicle arrived at Mbagathi with three police officers. All three officers were seated in the front of the vehicle, meaning Albert Ojwang, while still "alive," was sitting alone in the back of the car.

They stated they took him to Mbagathi because he had injuries, but upon arrival, they weren't in a hurry. They got out and stood outside, talking on their phones. They moved slowly, like a tortoise, and went inside to speak with the nurses. They then came out again, and keep in mind, Albert, with his emergency injuries, was still in the car.

It wasn't until 1:46 AM that they brought out the stretcher to carry Albert. By 1:58 AM, they finally removed Albert from the car to take him to the emergency ward. And after 10 minutes, they emerged with Albert's body. Initially, the police bosses said they were told he had already died upon arrival.

At 2:15 AM, they left the hospital. The hospital stated that when he was brought in, he had very severe injuries, and his body was cold.

The questions are: If they took Albert from the police station to rush him to the hospital, why did they leave him alone in the back of the car? Why, upon arriving at the hospital, were they not in a hurry, wasting 15 good minutes before Albert was removed from the car and taken to the ward? That can only mean one thing: Albert left the police station already deceased. That's why they used gloves to remove him from the car, and they weren't in a hurry because they knew he wasn't there to be treated.

May Albert get justice in his death.

I'm reading about how the British, in the early 1900s, used to confiscate livestock in Turkana numbering 5,000, up to 16,000. And then when the Samburu raided the Turkana for 300 heads of cattle, the British fined them. Yani, it was ok for the British to steal cattle but not for other Africans to conduct cattle raids. Of course, the math wasn't mathing.

The Turkana successfully staged a tax boycott against the colonialists, until the colonialists had to withdraw the tax. But in 1915, the British confiscated a staggering 130,000 head of cattle from the Turkana and killed over 400 warriors.

Towards north eastern, the British used to confiscate livestock of Kenyan Somalis so that Europeans breeds would dominate the region and Somalis would be rendered poor due to loss of livestock.

The British hated pastoralism (@m_ogada often reminds us that the wazungu and GoK still do) because it made the communities difficult to control, to reduce to forced labor and extract taxes from. So they attacked their livelihoods. And they brought rinderpest.

Northern Kenya was governed as "closed districts." People from those regions were not allowed to leave without permission from the colonialists. The act was repealed in guess when? 1997. Yes.

And then I remembered Huduma Namba and SHA in which the government proposed means testing, where people's ID cards and SHA contributions included data on the livestock they owned.

What I feel reading this is a mixture of anger and horror at that level of looting, surely. And anger that GoK can still be thinking like this in the 21st century. And that this information is not readily accessible. Eesh.

The American education system does not teach empire.

This is not an accident.

It teaches the Revolution. It teaches the Constitution. It teaches the Civil War in a way that frames it primarily as a story of "national healing" rather than unfinished reckoning.

It teaches World War II as the definitive American story: the sleeping giant awakened, the "arsenal of democracy," the liberation of Europe, the moral clarity of that specific conflict deployed as a permanent filter through which all subsequent American violence can be viewed as basically continuous with defeating Hitler.

It does not teach the Philippines, where the U.S. military killed somewhere between 200,000 and 1,000,000 people between 1899 and 1913 during the Philippine-American War, a war most Americans have never heard of.

It does not teach the Banana Wars, where the U.S. military intervened repeatedly in Central America and the Caribbean to protect the commercial interests of American corporations.

It does not teach the full history of Iran: the 1953 coup that removed a democratically elected prime minister and installed a Shah who ran a torture state, because the elected prime minister wanted to nationalize Iranian oil.

It does not honestly teach Korea, 1945-53. Guatemala, 1954. Vietnam, 1954-75. Lebanon, 1958 and 1982-84. The Congo, 1960-65. Cuba, 1961. Brazil, 1964. Dominican Republic, 1965. Haiti, across the 20th century. Indonesia, 1965. Greece, 1947-49 and 1967-74. Laos, 1964-73. Cambodia, 1969-75. Chile, 1973. Angola, 1975-1991. Argentina, 1976-1983. Nicaragua, the 1980s. El Salvador, the 1980s. Grenada, 1983. Panama, 1989. Afghanistan, 1979-92 and 2001–21. Iraq, 1991-2003 and 2003-11. Somalia, 1992-95. Sudan, 1998. Yugoslavia, 1999. Yemen, 2002-25. Venezuela, 2002 and 2014-present. Honduras, 2009. Libya, 2011. Syria, 2012-26. Ukraine, 2014-present.

It does not teach these things honestly because a population that understood them would have a very different relationship to the word "freedom" when its government uses it to justify intervention.

The ignorance is load-bearing.

Remove it, and the entire moral architecture of American exceptionalism becomes uninhabitable.

They know this.

The curriculum is not an oversight.

The curriculum is a choice, made deliberately, renewed continuously, defended furiously whenever teachers try to expand it.

The most powerful weapon American empire has ever deployed is not the aircraft carrier.

It is the history class.

Students see no issue using AI to complete their assignment because they have been conditioned to treat schooling as a means to a capitalist end and not a tool for acquiring knowledge. The proliferation of AI is just making this very explicit for those who didn’t already know.

The Haitian Revolution terrified slaveholders across the Americas so completely that it accelerated abolitionist pressure in Britain, France, and the United States.

The enslaved people of Saint-Domingue did not end slavery only in Haiti.

Their victory shook the entire system.

Black people ended slavery for Black people, Andrew.

And the shockwave reached your "heroes."
